Wed 28 Apr, 2010		The Heartbreaks Happy to wear their hearts and intellect on their sleeves, The Heartbreakes trade in beautifully skewed melancholy, proving that boys with guitars can still be poetic, punchy and most of all, poptastic. Tenacious rather then twee, their songs sound like minimaster classes in fuzzy pop brilliance, high on passion, wit and melodrama while boasting genius titles such as "Jealous, Don't You Know". Soon to be massive indie wonders, The Heartbrakes are Manchester's amazing new saviours of 2010. Tickets only £5 WITH NO BOOKING FEES. Get em whilst you can. ID IS ESSSENTIAL!!

Sat 22 May, 2010		LIGHTS LIGHTS, not to be confused with Benjamin Francis Leftwich, is a Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter (real name Lights Valerie Poxleitner). She describes her music as intergalactic-electro music, which is anyone's guess to what that actually means. As a kid she moved around a lot and found creating music the perfect outlet to keep any consistency and has since penned a deal with Sony and has perfected a balanced electo-pop sound that is getting attention across the globe. At the start of this year Lights supported Owl City in a sold out UK tour (as well in Europe and America) and readies the UK release her debut album 'The Listening'. ID IS ESSENTIAL!!

Sat 10 Apr, 2010		Nick Harper + Jonny Dobbs + Martin Hughes man who has been the English Jeff Buckley long before the current crop of McRae / Fretwell at al. Perhaps this son of bona fide rock God Roy Harper is the acoustic Hendrix instead? No, "Harpic" is his own man, his cracked timbre voice jumping from screeching yell to soothing croon to shrill falsetto all comforted with sheer guitar virtuosity and inventiveness. In fact, there is nothing this man cannot do with an acoustic guitar, all the time injecting moments of self parody whether turning Elvis' "Guitar Man" into a gung-ho Zeppelin bonanza or bullying Monty Python's "Galaxy Song" into a snatch of inspired wry wit. He even takes on Public Enemy (yes, on an acoustic guitar!) A truly revolutionary and creative player and songwriter, an alchemist! We think you should be here. Please not this is a reshedualed date from March, all original tickets remain valid. More info and tickets...
Thu 13 May, 2010		Martin Harley Band Since forming eight years ago, the MHB, comprising Martin himself, drummer Pete Swatton and bass player and guitarist Jay Carter, have come a long way, and their music has crossed many paths. They toured the UK with James Morrison last year and have shared stages with Kate Walsh and Scott Matthews, The Who and the late, great Bo Diddley, and played all the major U.K. festivals (including two appearances at Glastonbury). Admirers include broadcasting giant Johnnie Walker, whos described past albums as simply fantastic. Their new album is released in April and is already receiving glowing reviews in Word and Mojo. You won't be disappointed. More info and tickets...
Sun 18 Apr, 2010		Ben Montague + Leddra Chapman Ben Montague brings us his brand new single 'Haunted' (recently playlisted on Radio2)amd is also preparing to release his debut album Overcome (out in April). Featuring contributions from the likes of Simple Minds, Gary Barlow producer Peter-John Vetesse, guitar from Genesis legend Mike Rutherford, the song writing talents behind Kylie, Westlife collabortator Cliff Masterson and Bon Jovi mixer Dave Bascombe. The album is reminiscent of The Feeling, Take That and Maroon 5 blended with the modern takes on the brash showy talents of a 70s Elton John, an artist who has been a huge inspiration on Bens musical career. Recommended. More info and tickets...
Sat 8 May, 2010		Erland & The Carnival Erland and the Carnival comprise folk guitarist and singer Gawain Erland Cooper, keen collaborationist Simon Tong (most recently seen in Albarns The Good, The Bad and The Queen, but also previously of The Verve) and, on drums, David Nock (who himself has previously featured in a range of projects including The Orb and The Cult). The band is best known for their contemporary take on traditional British folk songs, but their original material has a sixties garage rock influence that creates a unique sound. The name Erland & TheCarnival comes from a Jackson C. Frank song, 'My Name is Carnival'. Recommended. ID IS ESSENTIAL!! More info and tickets...
Sat 3 Apr, 2010		RSJ + The Rabhus + Teen Zu RSJ should be declared a biohazard and an area of special scientific interest all at the same time. Way way off the Richter Scale with enormous blasts of hardcore metal on a truly seismic scale. And there is no other way to listen to RSJ than at ear-splitting of volume. Think Fantomas on cheap speed or Meshuggah on an experimental day. Whatever, the filthy noise made by York's RSJ is just what we need. ID IS ESSENTIAL!! More info and tickets...
Sun 24 Oct, 2010		Spiers & Boden John Spiers & Jon Boden. An exciting young duo with their tight fiddle and melodeon duos and powerful singing. Their stature continues to grow as they redefine English Folk, taking you on a journey through raucous tunes, punky upbeat rabble-rousing chorus songs, intense ballads and sublime lilting tunes. This and more, delivered with charm, humour, dynamism and spot-on fiddle and melodeon playing. Fresh and fantastic! You may also recognize them from their other band, Bellowhead. Recommended.

Sat 17 Apr, 2010		Napalm Death Napalm Death was founded in 1982 in Birmingham by the members of the Punk band Civil Defense Nick Bullen (vocals) and Miles Ratledge (drums). Napalm Death is up till this day the leader in Grindcore. There's no stupid horror texts or Death Metal clichés but texts with political and social contents. This band has influenced almost every type of music style, be it for guitars (e.g. Death Metal, Free Jazz) or for electronics (e.g. Ambient, Techno). The band has changed some members over the years, but the quality of the music has stayed the same. ID IS ESSENTIAL!! More info and tickets...
Sun 9 May, 2010		The Cheek Suffolk indie pop band The Cheek (formerly Cheeky Cheeky & The Nosebleeds) are poised for success after an impressive 2009. The five-piece, who hail from the Woodbridge area, recorded their debut album in Belgium and signed to A&M Records. This year they have already been on tour with The View and have various festivals shows booked in including The Great Escape in Brighton. ID IS ESSENTIAL!! More info and tickets...
